You're the second or third person who's said that. It's c.1991
How do you tell an early one from a later version???

You are right, John, but I am a lousy picture taker... I will try to get them, just for you.
Kevin, he was teasing about the blurry picture...
There are a few things that changed over the years, but the most obvious one IMO is the headstock. Sometime around 1996 or 1997 the headstock changed on the 4003, the 4001V63, and the 4001CS as they all apparently began sharing the same neck/headstock tooling. The V63 and CS models got around 1/2 inch shorter, and went from the 60's headstock look to the "bulbous" headstock look. The TRC though, stayed the same size. I'm not sure if the tooling changed for the lefty basses at the same time, but it did on the rightys.Lefty4003S8 wrote:

Kevin, you been holding out on me! Nice picture, never saw it before. I saved it as it looks better than the ones I took today.teeder wrote:How about one of her back-side!johnallg wrote:Oh, Greg's is okay, but it is backwards!

I do miss that one, but I'm glad it's in a good home.
Sure enough, Greg, the one you saw at MARF 3. The same one Kevin is posting the backside pic of. She's been mine for a year and a half now. Had to pull it out and play for an hour or so last night when I got home at 1am. Great feel, darker tone. The hot pups. I want to put the .0047uF cap on the RIHS and see what change it makes. Out of curiosity.Lefty4003S8 wrote:Johnallg,
Is that YOUR (Blurry)V63 pictured above????? I remember you having one at MARF 2008..........
Ahhhhhhh.............the smell of it is coming back to me

When you bring that bass to Cleveland while Jdog is here (hopefully) we can take some new photos for you.johnallg wrote:.....Nice picture, never saw it before. I saved it as it looks better than the ones I took today.
